Sorry, this forum went down the other day and I wanted to give an update to my situation.
I got the Selmer worked on at my local tech here in NYC.
Had some repadding, recorking and adjustments done.
Only thing it's missing is the lyre holder which is unnecessary,
the other thing that I gonna have installed on the future is the top join strap hook ring that somebody removed in the past. I'm gonna need that extra hook ring for more stability when I play standing up with the strap.
Anyone have any recommendations for a decent Bass Clarinet mouthpiece? I'm using the cheap Ridenour Encore mouthpiece right now, it plays ok but I want to spend a little more on a decent one to start actual playing with.
I've looked at the Vandoren B45,B46 and the B50.
B50 looks pretty cool.
*Can anyone tell me the things to look for in a Bass Clarinet mouthpiece? What does it mean if a mouthpiece is too close?
Right now I using a Rovner light ligature and a Legere 2.5 synthetic Reed.
